  • Patent number: 8759988
    Abstract: A method for producing semiconductor components and a component obtainable by such a method is disclosed. The method comprises the following steps: fixing a conductive film on a carrier; adhesively bonding semiconductor chips onto the conductive film using an adhesive layer, wherein active surfaces of the semiconductor chips, the active surfaces having connection contacts, are situated on that side of the chips which faces the film; overmolding the chips adhesively bonded onto the conductive film with a molding compound; and releasing the conductive film with the overmolded chips from the carrier. In this case, the adhesive layer is structured in such a way that at least connection contacts of the semiconductor chips are free of the adhesive layer and are kept free of the molding compound.
